One Sided Giving: Hard Lessons From Emeka Ike’s Story (1485 Views)

Have you ever given your all to someone, only to realize they were never truly invested in you? Veteran Nollywood actor Emeka Ike recently opened up about the painful experience of pouring his heart, soul, and over N1 billion into his ex-wife and her family, only for her to leave him. His story is a brutal reminder that money alone cannot keep a woman. Let me quote him directly : “I built for her in Lagos. I built for her mother in Isoko. I trained her in school. I changed her life. I bought her every car she ever wanted—Prado, Charlotte, Lamborghini, Infinity. I gave her everything because I wanted her to have fun as a ‘big man’s wife.’ But I was investing in someone who wasn’t investing in me.” The Harsh Reality of Modern Relationships Many men today believe that if they provide financial security, their partner will stay. But love is not a business transaction. You can give a woman everything—luxury, comfort, and security—and she can still walk away. Emeka Ike’s mistake was one that many men make: assuming that providing for a woman equals love. He spent years giving without stopping to ask himself: “Does she even love me?” The Provider Trap: Why Money Isn’t Enough A lot of men, especially successful ones, fall into the "provider trap." They assume that if they just give enough—money, houses, cars—their woman will be loyal and devoted. But the truth is: A woman who doesn’t love you will take everything and still leave. Emeke Ike continues : But do you know what breaks my heart? I was investing on someone who wasn't investing in me. So I just kept on loving her not knowing whether she loved me in return or not. That's the mîstake we make as young people, especially young men. All we think about is getting the girl but we never stop to think 'Does she like me?' Financial stability is attractive, but it doesn’t guarantee emotional connection. Love should be mutual—not one person giving while the other just takes. Lessons Every Man Should Learn 1. Love is about reciprocity, not just giving. If you’re the only one sacrificing, while the other person just receives, you’re not in a relationship—you’re in a transaction. 2. Ask yourself: Is she with me or with my lifestyle? Before making major financial sacrifices, check if her feelings match your effort. 3. Emotional connection keeps a woman, not just money. Many wealthy men have been left by the very women they built up. If she doesn’t love you, no amount of money will make her stay. 4. A woman who loves you will contribute to your growth. She won’t just take—she will you emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. 5. Invest in a woman who invests in you. Before you build her an empire, buy her cars, or fund her dreams, be sure she’s building with you, not just benefiting from you. Final Thoughts Emeka Ike’s story is a powerful wake-up call. Love smart. Love wisely. Choose a partner who values you, not just what you provide. What do you think? Have you ever experienced something similar? Let’s discuss. 7 Likes 4 Shares |

Do not go overboard for any woman because she will forget. Do what will not hurt u even if things goes south. In Short, always live with a woman your head not your heart.

So, as handsome as Emeka Ike is, he too was SIMPING? ![]() ![]() Built a house for a Naija lady, bought her series of cars, built for her mum, even sponsored her education. Most men who don't understand women (or the ones that allowed women play them) weren't raised properly by their parents. From my teenage days, my dad gave me enough OT about women. I dating a girl then, she was always very domineering and acting like she was doing me a favour by dating me. My dad sensed it and gave me the format on how to turn the table. By the time I flipped the table on her, Hanty became my b1tch. That was when I knew dating, relationship and marriage requires certain level of skill. Shuo! The naive me thought being sincere was all that relationship entails. One small girl almost used my heart played LUDO before my dad gave me the OT. And to my mum, she kinda gave me a full training on "women psychology". All their mood swing nonsense, manipulation techniques and gaslighting tactics became known to me first hand. Woman no fit whyne me. ![]() ![]() Emeka Ike fall hand big time! 5 Likes |

Smilleydr: It's because she didn't invest in him. Hence the topic, one sided giving. A woman who invests heavily in you will always want the relationship to work but if she hasn't done anything, the will to leave will be strong since she has nothing to lose. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Let me be very straight here, women are just sex objects. All of them! Investing your 3k in a 9ja girl because of kpekus is one of the greatest disservice you can ever do to yourself. Only use and dump them or make them baby mama and abandon them. Don't ever allow anybody preach that nonsense morals to you because, when dey will do you, dey don't think of moral. |

Dpsychologist:No mind me jare, I was just messing around. ![]() ![]() However, it never ceases to amuse me whenever I see a rich, handsome or educated man being played by a woman. Some men really didn't learn anything from their dad. A whole me? An OG, born and raised by another OG. Them no born that woman well! My dad taught me a lot about women right from my teenage days, by the time I matured, I don turn Senior Man. ![]() ![]() 1 Like |

![]() And how much did the werey invest in his own family,I mean his father, mother and siblings? ![]() |

ravensckar: What will they learn from their dad when he too doesn't really understand women. Looks, money and status will attract women to you but that won't save you from women’s nature, manipulation, betrayal etc only the Red Pill. |

Sonnobax15: There is a reason why some families prefer female children because of the high likelihood of her taking care of the family when she is married. Many ignorant married men on the other hand will keep investing on his wife and her family at the end contributing less to his own family that took care of him from birth. I have seen men who got married and abandoned their main family indefinitely. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Dpsychologist: Bestow upon a woman as you deem fit; however, do you perceive your fellow man? Brothers, endow him with your resources so that when you depart from this life, he may either bear your casket upon his head or cradle it in his lap. ![]() ![]() 1 Like |
